Lärmschutz darf nicht an der Kreuzung enden!

Auf der Berliner Allee gilt nachts Tempo 30 – doch viele Autos biegen in die Indira‑Gandhi‑Straße ab und geben dort wieder Vollgas. Gerade im Sommer raubt der Verkehrslärm den Anwohnenden den Schlaf. Unser Antrag auf Tempo 30 nachts in der Indira‑Gandhi‑Straße zwischen Berliner Allee und Chopinstraße war erfolgreich – wir freuen uns! 💪💚

Auch im #Komponistenviertel soll man schlafen können! Unser Antrag auf Tempo 30 nachts in der Indira‑Gandhi‑Straße zwischen Berliner Allee und Chopinstraße war erfolgreich – wir freuen uns! 💪💚 #gemeinsamfuerPankow

This is now definitively a national security threat: let’s treat it like one.

Parting the Waters: America in the King Years 1954-1963 by Taylor Branch has great detail on the strategy debates behind the scenes

Pls post details of Berlin book launch once available 🙏, can’t find on Google yet

On the conference page there are several sessions with the title ‘Applications of a new paradigm’ from angles of tech, governance, etc. Was a new paradigm defined or outlined at any point?

And if it wasn’t, how did they manage to discuss its application?!

Thanks!

Great article @quinnslobodian.com - it also indirectly shows why the many callers for a new system or political order need to be more propositional.

Any consensus that ‘emerges’ and is featured at places like Harvard is likely to be rebranded, toothless centrism.

Post-Neoliberalism is the New Centrism At a recent convening devoted to the death of neoliberalism, what emerged was less a rupture with the past than a centrist project of status-quo stabilization.

This @quinnslobodian.com piece is really good.

Nice one thanks! At the new Paradigm Project I’m developing resources to accelerate the transition.

Have started with a one page narrative template and will have more coming soon

‘Given the urgency of the climate emergency, extreme inequality and persistent poverty, a radical shift is now imperative. A global transition to a sustainable and equitable future demands a decisive rejection of neoliberalism.’

On days like today, when breaking through the noise feels impossible, you’re what I think of to keep going.

If you’ve ever called for a new political order, economy, or narrative, I have one question:

Where is that new system going to come from?

This week I was at 2 events where speakers again called for a long-term project. No one seemed to disagree.

But where is the plan to make it happen?

Answer: Reagan, presenting an award for small business owners.

Back in the day when Conservatives understood government could help both minorities and small business.

www.reaganlibrary.gov/archives/spe...

'We've gotten the Prompt Payments Act on the books so the small firms doing business with the Government are paid promptly. We're increasing Federal procurement from minority enterprise. We've provided small business with more opportunity to participate in international trade through the Export Trading Company Act; signed into law the Small Business Innovation Development Act, assuring small high-tech firms a greater share of government research and development'

Which American president said this about how their government was helping small business?

a) Jimmy Carter
b) Ronald Reagan
c) Bill Clinton

Updated list of calls for a new political order, paradigm, narrative or project at paradigmproject3.wordpress.com/2025/08/17/c...

Since 2015 hundreds of academics and writers have now made this type of call.

Far too few people are working on answering it directly.

‘What we need is a political project’ to counter the neoliberal political and cultural project, including the values it promotes like individualism.

Hi @carlomasala1.bsky.social what’s Putin trying to do with these actions? Is it about domestic politics, e.g. to provoke a reaction and then go ‘told you we were fighting NATO’ and save face from the embarrassment of not beating Ukraine?

Really tough issue. One thing is to tackle things that people (quite often wrongly) blame on migrants, eg lack of GP appointments or housing shortages. Fairness matters a lot - if people can see or can be persuaded that they & others are being treated equally, that should help.

What can policy realistically do to change the way voters ‘feel’ about an issue though? Specially about migration where media coverage is relentless and mostly one-sided. Insights from event or other sources welcome thx
